Could I be pregnant after tubal ligation?

Ok, here goes. March 19, 2002 I had my tubes tied. My last menstrual cycel was June 13-16th, which is about normal for me. I am usually on time every month, starting somewhere between the 12th and 18th of every month. However I did not have one in July and now I haven't shown any signs of even starting in August. The ONLY signs I have had of anything are nausea about 3 weeks ago for 2 days and now breast tenderness and some slight droplets of creamy liquid from my nipples. I have 2 other children, ages 11 and 7. I did have my tubal done after I had my son, so it has been 7 years now. I was told that it is possible to get pregnant after a tubal, which would be very welcomed, as I have remarried and my new husband and I would love to have a child together. So, my question is, could I possibly be one of the lucky few and by chance got pregnant after a tubal ligation?

well it is  possible to  get preggo after having a  tubal   it happened to me . I  had my  tubes tied in  2006 and  got preggo in 2008 and had  baby  girl who was  perfectly  fine in  Feb 09 so even though it is  rare it  does happen.    I would take a test  to find out it  can hurt . I know when i  did mine  (  work in lab  that  runs hormome testing)  i ran  my blood work with out even thinkin that was a possiblity and i was  shocked when i  saw the  postive result.

If  negative and  no  period in a week  then  retest
if postive call ur doctor they will tell u  need to  go have  U/S to check  placement of the pregnancy if  there is one. That was what i  had  to  do .  there is possiblity of  eptopic pregnancy  and they will only  really  be able to tell  vis  U/S
  
goodluck if u have any  questions feel free to PM seein as i am  one the  rare cases that this  happened to  and my sit was  very similar to yours


  so take  a test and see

Its possible to get pregnant after a tubal ligation but this is very, very, rare.

There are many things that can cause pregnancy-like symptoms and the only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a test.  If its negative and you dont get your period in a week retest.

Must be something in the water lol. Because I am going thru same thing, have a 12 yr old and 10 yr old, and got my tubes tied after my son (10 yrs ago) and now my last period was June 25th, and I am ALWAYS like clockwork.. Today is day 14 and no signs of Mother Nature. (besides moodiness and cravings I usually have that time of the month)I've been kind of scared to take a test (not sure if a positive would show up if its an ectopic pregnancy), but I think I am going to give in and take one, instead of worrying about it.... Let's let each other know the outcome of this .. and I hope someone gives you an answer, noone has answered my question :(
